Cuz we'll always be cougars

Okay, okay, I'm sure half the world has already seen all of these videos, but in light that ROC passes went on sell today and I'll be heading back to BYU (and BYU sporting events) in like three weeks (!!!!!) I have decided to share these uplifting Divine Comedy Music Videos:

Fail:

Good:

and last of all (of those I wanted to post...) Cougars:

I may or may not be completely and utterly excited to return to Provo.
Okay you got me. I am BEYOND excited. At this point on instagram I would use #hashtags... and if I did it would look like this:

#byu
#immacougar
#iamsoexcitedtogobackilovebyusomuch
#butimkindascaredofschoolsinceivemisseditforabout2yearsnow

When I collect my ROC pass in these next few days there will be photos of me being overwhelmed with joy. Be prepared.

Pin-Mania

So for those of you who might not know I have been out of commission this past week recovering from back surgery.
So since I have to either be standing or laying down for most of the time I have been enjoying  watching movies, having Sarah read books to me (it's just more fun that way,) and well... pinning, you know...on Pinterest.
I have decided that I enjoy it way to much, I probably have about 4 people's weddings planned (not mine though, that won't be happening anytime soon,) I have about 1,000 recipes that I will most likely never make, and loads of places that I would love to visit but by no means will I ever get there.
On the other hand, I now have many more jokes to laugh at, secrets to Disney, and a fair number of "hacks" to use for my life.
Brilliant huh?
I suppose it does have an upside...if any of you need a wedding planner, I've got the whole thing in my plam.

sometimes it's hard to "hold [my] tongue"

But only sometimes.
Like for instance yesterday at the BYU game.
Now I am not someone who "boos" at Refs (come on guys that's like elementary school and I don't think I did it then either,) I don't complain about the players--everyone makes mistakes, everybody has those days, everybody knows what I'm talking about, everyone gets that way. But seriously! Mistakes happen, nobody's perfect. And I certainly do not criticize the coaches, I would never be able to do a better job then them and I don't think you could either (man who is yelling at Bronco up a few rows.)
Okay, and obviously I'm not the perfect fan either but the reason I go to games is to support my team, to cheer them on, and yell as loud as I can on 3rd Down Stops.
The first line of the Fight Song is "Oh, Rise all LOYAL Cougars..." Loyal. Not fickle, not fair-weather fans, LOYAL. And so I think there should be no name calling or yelling at the coaches or being the girl in front of us clapping for MT's Field Goal and then saying to her sister 'We're just going to lose anyway." NO!

Anyway, story.
A few rows in front of us were some men either in their late 20's or early 30's who were being kind of silly at the beginning of the game but then got kind of mean later. One of them had red hair and was being exceptional rude and it was getting on my nerves. At one point he yelled "Coach! Put in Hoffman!" Then I yelled to him "Hoffman suspended himself!" (of course I'm sad about that but I had to inform this guy right?) Then I was shocked, I never yell at other fans, never. Scary!
Later in the game he was being ridiculous again and I was about to yell, "Hey! Carrots! (as in from Anne of Green Gables expect not at all like what Gilbert was trying to do) Sit down!" But I used all my inner strength to not say it, although it would've been good.

So moral of this post is, don't be a fair-weathered fan be loyal. And even when people are being awful just try to hold your tongue.

100 days

that is how many days I have until I enter the Provo MTC.
I, uh, wow.
I AM SO STOKED!!!!!

confessions of a Pre-Missionary

Once you get your Mission Call it is marvelous.
Like really.
But it is also so hard.
Really, really, hard.
You are supposed to do homework,
because next week is the last week before the term is over?
Not going to happen.
You should probably go buy some groceries?
Nope!
You're little sister is turning 16 on Sunday and you should get her a gift?
Ummm maybe. (cept I already spent like $60 shopping for her the other day...)

Get the point?

All I want to think about is Mexico and nothing but Mexico.

hello blogging world, it's been a while.

I just need to vent about my latest issue.

Today's 106.5 is no more now it's "Rock 106.5"
AHHHHHH!!!!!!

Part of me died. How am I supposed to enjoy Christmas music after Halloween now?
How am I supposed to listen to TWO radio stations while driving on Sunday's. Most importantly how am I supposed to listen to Show Tunes Saturday Night?!?!?!

That was my favorite thing about driving on Saturdays!!!!

It's gone!
NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
